Introduction:
Thanks for viewing this thread. Basically I'm going to run a number of experiments using FM 2014 and various edited databases. I will update with screenshots as the experiment progresses.
Experiment one: Glasgow Derby
I'm sure most of you who watch British football are aware, their are two main clubs in Glasgow. Celtic and Rangers have been rivals since the beginning of Scottish football. Both have won numerous trophies and are known and support worldwide. Recently things have changed. Rangers entered administration just over 2 years ago and are now playing their trade in the Third tier of Scottish football. The idea for this experiment is to have Rangers and Celtic playing again in the same league although their is one twist. They will be joined by some of the other clubs based in Glasgow, Patrick Thistle and Queens Park. The four will compete against each other 12 times making up 36 league matches. There will also be a league cup. The league winner will qualify for the champions league first qualifying round.
Another feature will be the prize money. The club who finishes bottom of the league will actually receive the most money to help build for the season/s ahead. The team at the top will receive the least money and will have to relay on good performances in Europe to provide income and attract new players.
Prize money will be split as follows
1st: 2000000
2nd: 4000000
3rd: 6000000
4th: 9000000
And with that our experiment begins...
Any suggestions or feedback is more than welcome, any predictions on how things may work out are welcome too.
